  • Can you mold the foot plate on the DonJoy Velocity Ankle Brace? If so how do you do it?
  • Yes you can mold it by following the steps below.
    
    How to use the heat moldable foot plate.
    1. Remove inner liner and outer shell (ES version).
    2. Apply heat evenly to the area of interest using a heat gun. Heat molding the foot plate should be performed by medical professionals only. Do not use an oven, boiling water, or any heat source other than a heat gun. Do not heat foot plate to more than 300F as melting may occur. Do not attempt to heat mold any component other than the foot plate. If heated, the rivets will readily burn bare skin.
    3. Manually form desired changes with gloved hands prior to cooling. Do not attempt to form components against bare skin.
    4. Reheat and continue forming as necessary.
    5. The foot plate will retain heat after heat source is removed. Allow sufficient cooling time prior to making contact with bare skin.
    
    Keep in mind once you've molded the brace it is not returnable.

  • I'm not sure what version of this brace I should get...the DonJoy Velocity MS or ES. I play soccer and sprained my ankle awhile ago. My ankle is now healed, I just wear a brace to try to keep from injuring it again. What do you recommend?
  • The DonJoy Velocity MS Ankle is good for active people who need support, but want less material inside their shoe. The DonJoy Velocity ES Ankle Brace is for athletes that need maximum support and wear footwear that can accommodate the extra material. Both versions provide moderate to maximum support with ES version providing the most ankle support between the two.

  • I just sprained my ankle 3 weeks ago. Third degree sprain, and it is the third time. I play soccer and have my very last game ever in a week. Will this provide enough support?
  • Hello Sandra,
    
    Your doctor will be able to advise what type of brace your should wear during the course of your recovery.
    
    The DonJoy Velocity Ankle Brace is a great brace to wear during games to add support to the ankle and prevent rolling.

  • I am interested in the Velocity ankle brace for use while windsurfing. Will it hold up
    to salt water? If not are there better choices?
  • The Velocity is very hard to wear without a shoe because of the foot plate on the brace. I suggest the DonJoy Stabalizing Ankle Brace. It will withstand the salt water better and be more comfortable to wear.
